Alienware M17X R2 - Space Black, i7 920XM (OC'd), 4GB DDR3 Ram, 2x 1GB HD 4870 / CrossfireX, 17" WideUXGA RGB LED (1200p), 250GB SSD + 500GB Momentous XT, Blu-Ray.
The Alienware plays any under the sun! The screen is AMAZING! Weighs a ton tho. I payed alot for it when the R1 (first revision) was released, my usb port broke off the motherboard and then they sent me a R2 with better specs than the R1, so I got more than my money's worth now. They now have the R3 out with a 3D screen and different video card configuration and now run sandy bridge motherboards. From what I've been reading, the new R3's are not at efficient at gaming due to the video cards.

Honestly the best looking laptop!


They did just release a 14in model and presumably a 18in soon too.

I would check on www.notebookreview.com and look at the forsale section, most of the warrenties are transferablle and you might be able to snag a awesome deal on a 17in R2.

Surpisingly the Mac plays World of Warcraft pretty well. Other than that can't do higher end games. Super portable

Hows is the warranty garbage? You drop or spill water and its your fault you can get a replacement. It pays for itself as soon as you get a replacement, and if they stop selling the model they will replace it with a equally powerful version thats out.
